Data products retain model when opened in Qlik Sense

Share this message

When users create a Qlik Sense app from a data product, the data model from the Qlik Talend Cloud task are transmitted to the Qlik Sense app itself, so that users do not have to recreate the data model in the Sense. This model can be viewed from Data model viewer in Qlik Sense.

What is not included:

  • No data model assumptions on column names. Only the data model defined in the Qlik Talend Cloud project is reflected. However, with this release we have resolved an issue that renamed duplicated column names in separate tables. This no longer occurs such that model recommendations from Qlik Sense can more easily be applied.
  • No visualization of the data model in the data product. The data model can be viewed in either the Qlik Talend Cloud project or in the Qlik Sense app.
  • No export of the data model of a data product.
